The dress is suuuper comfortable.

The fine stripe is surprisingly hard to photograph! I think once I reduce my pile of shirting I might need to investigate further.

Note to self – read post fully before commenting (blush with embarrasment)

I love the combination of stripes at the top with the plain waist and skirt. I haven’t made my pattern up yet as it is too hot here for knits yet.

Re your question about the Michael’s bundle- they are not very good at using flat packs, so the postage can be expensive. The last two bundles I received cost $US 84 to post 20 yards of wool (more like 25 yards, as the cutting was generous) and the cotton shirting bundle cost $67 US in postage for 20+ yards. I still find the overall cost very reasonable, as adding $3 to 5 per yard to the cost of the fabric still makes the bundle price less than a third of the price of comparable fabric, (when I can get it!) in Australia.

[blushing] My first Tira is an emerald colour, so my winter one will just *have* to be sapphire now won’t it? and maybe a Ruby? I love the names of jewel colours almost as much as I love the colours ;-)
